Donegal Group Stock Forecast
Green day on Thursday for Donegal Group
(Updated on May 02, 2024)
The Donegal Group stock price gained 0.148% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from $13.50 to $13.52. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.64% from a day low at $13.42 to a day high of $13.64. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.88% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -17 thousand shares and in total, 43 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $579.74 thousand. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies the upper part of a falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $13.66 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -6.79% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $11.81 and $12.73 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Donegal Group stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $13.59 and $13.71. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, March 15, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.79%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.
